I noted that he has gotten more attention and is selling a lot of books. Malcolm Gladwell is also very well known and sells a lot of books.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-14582266586819308982017-03-14T19:36:36.613-04:002017-03-14T19:36:36.613-04:00What does it say about economics that respected Ph...What does it say about economics that respected PhDs can offer Malcolm Gladwell analysis?<br />.<br />What does it say about economics that Malcolm Gladwell analysis causes a respected PhD to become *more* respected?Thornton Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402495641975262697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-15944845096939317992017-03-14T06:37:12.582-04:002017-03-14T06:37:12.582-04:00Bruce W.,

His latest apology explains the disproportionate flow of income to the top 0.01% by our complacency and laziness. He points at everything but the fact that his overlords have successfully changed tax policy and regulation to benefit themselves at the expense of everything else, moving 6% of GDP from wages to profits, while simultaneously causing a decline in productivity growth. He is relentless and worth every penny the Kochs pay him indirectly and directly through donations to the JMU econ dept and Mercatus Center. You always know his conclusion before he puts pen to paper or at least you know what his conclusions will not be. It has long been known that no one ever went broke being a lickspittle to the oligarchy.<br /><br />And the chattering class falls for this crap every time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-35281279750160031552017-03-13T21:22:27.967-04:002017-03-13T21:22:27.967-04:00"a serious of inconclusive blogposts"
